Title: Press release
Authors: Governance and Development Institute
Abstract: Rural women remain disempowered, have no access to meaningful economic empowerment, few of them own property, and due to these disadvantaged positions, are targets for gender based violence. Article 14 of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has not been instrumental in informing government policy on development that benefits rural women. Political involvement is low due to lack of road networks, communication systems, markets, schools and access to government structures. This is further impacted by rural women’s inability to articulate their right to development.

Title: Political parties brief
Authors: Governance and Development Institute
Abstract: Focusing on the strategies that political parties have, or are putting in place to promote young women’s political participation in Malawi, the findings reflect that parties do not have organized strategies for promoting participation of youth and young women in politics. Women fail to participate in politics because they are not economically empowered, and political parties do not have programs that encourage youth participation.

Title: Policy brief on young women's political participation
Authors: Governance and Development Institute
Abstract: Sections 20 and 24 of the Republican Constitution of Malawi are to the effect that rural women should not be discriminated against. Key findings dictate the need for the Ministry of Gender, Children and Community Development to push for programs that will tackle the barriers that limit young rural women’s political participation, such as a quota system to ensure an increase in the number of young rural women who participate in politics at the local government level. Article 14 of CEDAW (Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women) can also be implemented to address particular problems faced by rural women.

Title: Young women in political participation in Africa : final technical report
Authors: Kabwato, Linda K.
Abstract: The project aims at conducting in-depth research on the nature and extent of young women’s political participation in Malawi since little is known about this not only in Malawi but in Southern Africa as well. The project activities had their basis on the general objective of examining and analyzing how the lived in social, economic, cultural and political situation of rural women in Malawi impacts on the political participation of young women at the local level recognizing the correlation between poverty, social vulnerability and gender equality. The research further interrogated four specific objectives that explored how political parties and women in Parliament are supporting young women’s political participation and the extent to which the state is implementing Article 14 of Convention on the Elimination of all Forms Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) to influence the political participation of young rural women.
In the project period from February 2011 to August 2013 the research team undertook various research activities to meet these objectives. Material was developed that covered the various aspects of the research questions.
